Senior dog is losing weight
My 13 year old shepard mix is losing weight. Its really become apparent the past few days. Of course I will be bringing him to the veterinarian, but I am wondering what suggestions people have for stimulating appetite and weight gain in an older dog. As a puppy he had serious digestive problems and needed to avoid the usual culprits (corn, wheat, soy). He has been eating Canidae All Life Stages supplemented with... (continued)

Dog Food & Dog Nutrition
This is a very informative article that all dog owners should read. When I educated myself about the differences between natural pet nutrition and popular brands that are made with low-quality fillers, I switched to a grain-free food with chicken as the first ingredient called Natural Balance Alpha and never looked back. And your right, when you switch to a natural brand the amount of food you need to put in the ... (continued)

The dangers of the raw food diet
I considered going raw if we couldn’t find the right kibble for my allergic dog, but luckily we did. Honestly, I think if your dog has problems or allergies, there is a natural food out there and you don’t have to resort to raw. Lots of companies make limited ingredient foods (we use Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Venison) and it took us some trial and error but we found one that really worked and benefits her overall health (and our wallets!)

The dangers of the raw food diet
As someone who has 10 years experience as an RVT in an emergencyy/referral practice, I would like to put in my 2 cents. I have watched MANY beloved pets(both cats and dogs)die of Salmonella poisoning, and seen many cases of bone/organ disorders due to calcium/phosphorous imbalance. There are also many risks posed to human family members. I would never feed my dog raw chicken and feel comforatble having him near ... (continued)

Feeding people food to dogs
I don’t feed my dogs people food because even if a certain ingredient is in their dog food, it may only be a small amount and too much might not be good for them. I’m not a dog nutritionist so I leave it to the experts and only feed a natural dog food I can trust with ingredients I know are good like real meat as the first ingredient and also with blueberries, garbanzo beans, etc. in the mix. My dogs don’t do well with grains so we feed Alpha (natural balance) but each dog is different.

Feeding a puppy
IMHO, from my experience you don’t necessarily have to feed different foods for puppies and adults. A few natural brands have an all life-stages philosophy and manufacture food you can raise your dog on and never have to go through the process of switching when they reach “adulthood” and possibly have to deal with all the digestion and diarrhea issues that go along with that. In the wild, puppies and adult dogs ... (continued)

The dangers of the raw food diet
I cannot believe the ignorance of people today! Please don't feed your dog raw!! God created dogs to eat cooked well balanced meals! Even wild dogs, coyotes and wolves eat cooked processed foods, in fact, I,ve seen many wild dogs, and coyotes pulling fresh carrots and picking peas for their young so they can have the same style food their domesticated counterparts have! Be a good responsible dog owner and place you... (continued)
